Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for on a jigging charter in Wilmington?

The most popular season to go on a jigging charter in Wilmington is summer, and most anglers book their trips 38 days in advance.

    Had a great time with Jamie. He’s very personable and adapted the day well based on what was biting. Great weather, company, and fishing. Thanks, Jamie!

    Our trip Had 5 people and captain Ed made sure to get us to good spots so that we were all able to catch fish. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend him to everyone!

    Trip: 5 Hour Nearshore Charter

  • ★★★★★
    Great trip with Spencer. First time for the family and the kids (15 and 12) had a great time. By the end of the trip they were setting lines and taking fish off the hooks. Spencer was very knowledgeable and provided an excellent experience. Would definitely book again with him when we come back to the area.

    Even though we chose a tough time of the year to catch fish, we enjoyed the expertise and conversation with Michael. He is a very knowledgeable young man and we enjoyed our time with him.

    Ed had a real nice boat, and we had a good time. Wish we could’ve caught more fish, but that’s just fishing. We will go again when we visit.
